remap 182

[Italian_Job]

Im thinking about getting mine remapped with panel filter, exhaust and cat modification.
Just wondering if the improvements worth the money..........
Sure I dont expect to hit 0-60 in 4 seconds but is there any noticeable difference?
Best place where to get it done?

Cheers

Look into the RSTuner remap, you do it yourself. Just need to buy (or borrow) a bit of hardware and a license.

Great mod to do, I did mine easily - just improves the drivability of the car.

+1 for the RStuner map very easy to do and made a noticeable difference just be aware that you may lose 3 or 4 mpg. as for cat and exhaust don't think you will gain alot, the only reason I changed mine was the old one was rotting away

^ I would disagree about the mpg loss. I noticed an increase in mpg.

I suppose it depends how you drive it, I know alot of people noticed an increase but mine went from being around 41mpg to 37mpg and I had it a year before the remap and a year after

so it looks like the RStuner s the way to go.
I thought you could get better results from a "custom map" than a Rstuner preset,
or maybe im just talking s**t.....

Doing a proper remap on a NA engine is never going to give you that much, not like the turbo Meganes etc....

I see your point,
so I need to borrow one and buy a license.
thats been very helpful, thnask

I've just bought a RS tuner.. hopefully map my 172 today or tomorrow.

 

[Italian_Job]

did you get a new one or second hand?

I dont see the point in an rs tuner, all you get is a generic map.every clio runs slightly different even when standard.why not pay for a custom map at rs tuning?

 

[Fred@BTM]

get to TDF

 

[Austin-182]

Do TDF do custom maps? And what afe their prices like compared to RS tuning at leeds?

 

[Fred@BTM]

indeed they do, no idea on price though

 

[Austin-182]

Whats the location of TDF? Probably even further away than leeds i bet :/ and would there be an advantage of chosing TDF over RS Tuning?

thats what i thought......

get to TDF

excuse my ignorance man,
Whats TDF? where are they based?

 

[Austin-182]

And that way you get to see your car on the RR and actually see what bhp it makes from standard to mapped

sweet!!

"We do not just 'upload' a generic map and consider correct pre recalibration testing to be of the upmost importance in ensuring excellent results and faultless reliability"

sounds good just a bit far away.
